I realize this is an older post, but I do have a question re the differences between the Classic fit and Retro fit. I've tried to find a concise description of the differences but can't seem to find one anywhere.
Thanks in advance.

I may be in the minority here, but I _cannot stand_ the loafers-with-shorts look. Despise it, actually. For me, if you're going to wear shorts, go with sandals or an athletic shoe. Otherwise, long pants.

The local AE store was able to find a pair of Lombard firsts in burgundy: $129. Theyre exactly what i was looking for. They had a few odd sizes in the inventory system, so of you are interested, don't delay.
